Re: Skip Before question

It won't skip 3 pages, it will skip to line 3 of the next page.

Hi,

Every so often I run across program-defined reports where the headings
don't start on a new page, so I have to fix it.  Pretty simple fixes.

Well today I came across a program-defined print file with the following
line:
     OQPrint    E            header         1 03

So it has a Skip Before value of 03.  But it's not skipping 3 pages.  In
this instance, I only want to skip to the next page, so I'm going to change
the Skip Before value to 1, but as I read the current line, it's not doing
as I'd expect.

Thoughts?
